One of the things that's stuck most in my mind from Don DeLillo's Underworld is how he described a cat twining itself through the legs of a chair like "liquid fur".
You could make an argument that, simply because the phrase stuck in mind, means it's bad writing -- it obviously broke the narrative flow -- but I liked it. I think my point is that the "liquid diamond" thing was probably pretty cool the first time someone did it.
